International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family

Description

The work is particularly notable because of its broad scope. Marriage and family are interpreted in the broadest sense, and contemporary issues related to marriage and family are included. International and cultural coverage, absent from the earlier edition, offer added value. Fifty countries representing the regions of the world were selected for inclusion; coverage of family life in these countries is excellent. There are 12 entries on unique racial and ethnic groups, selected because they were either indigenous or prominent in heterogeneous nations and research was available about their distinct family patterns. In addition, 11 entries on specific religions or belief systems are included because of the impact these systems have in guiding and supporting lifestyle choices and patterns. Adolescent parenthood, Commuter marriages, Dowry, Extended families, Hospice, In-law relationships, Jealousy, Menstrual taboo, Relationship metaphors, Sandwich generation, Wedding ring, and Work and family are some of the other topics covered.

Signed alphabetically arranged entries are carefully documented and accompanied by bibliographies incorporating cited works and suggestions for further reading. Cross-references to related content facilitate use. A comprehensive and well-developed index of nearly 100 pages concludes the set. The encyclopedia would have been enhanced by the addition of two items to the end matter: a directory of key associations and a list of core Web sites for further information. Although the bibliographies do include Internet sites, they are few and far between--something to consider in future editions.
